Hello!
I looked around for some lighting options for my new 150X60x60 tank and I am a bit lost and I was hoping to get some advice.
Whilst I cannot afford the ADA Solar RGB, I also do want to get this right and spend what's necessary to have a healthy tank.
I intend to plant some fairly demanding plants like HC and Riccia. I intend to use ADA Amazonia for the top soil layer with crushed lava rock and additives for the base. I intend to use the dry start method.
I was quite close to purchasing the ONF Flat One plus pendant style (2 X 60 cm) but from the few reviews that I found, they don't really work very well at the depth that I need with demanding plants.
I also looked at the Chihiros WRGB II, UNS Titan 1, Kessil A360X Tuna Sun and Twinstar 600SP. I am not very savvy with all the terminology they used but seems like Chihiros would work well for me. I love the shimmering effect that I might get with Kessil but I think I would be spending twice or thrice as much on those compared to the other options.
Are there other options I should be considering? What should I be looking for when I am looking around for lights?
TIA!
Cheers
Alex
